writing about writing

I think I'm writing a book about writing a book. I say "I think" because I've been working on a book, on and off, for many years and recently I was adding and editing the work and I've sketched in my mind a slightly different path than it was on before. I like this new angle; it gives me a good frame to work from. The beginning and end of the book are also the beginning and end of the story.

I mature, my thoughts mature, the story matures, the book matures: the end. Not exactly like that, but having the book be about the making of the book gives it a definite 'wholeness'.

And, of course, I'm thinking I would need a website, and an agent, … And thinking about all that just brings me down...
